If you have not experienced failures and setbacks, it is not a complete life. I have never experienced the baptism of a storm in my life. How can I feel hope and warmth in the bright sunshine? People get real growth in the process of falling and getting up again.
Dark clouds sometimes cover the sun, but believe that the sun will always appear again.
Harland Sanders, the founder of KFC, was born on a small farm in Indiana, USA. His father died when he was 6 years old, and his mother shouldered the burden of making money and taking care of the children alone.
Sandoz's mother works in a factory during the day.
Mend clothes at home at night.
Young Saunders watched his mother work so hard and began to help her share the responsibility of taking care of her younger brothers and sisters.
In a short period of one year, Sandoz learned nearly 20 dishes by his own efforts and became a small expert in cooking.
When Sandoz 12 years old, his mother started another marriage. Sandoz was in a rebellious period of growth at that time, and his relationship with his stepfather was always tense. Sandoz wants to change his living environment. He wants to escape from this depressed life.
After that, Sandoz dropped out of school without his mother's permission and went out to work. Sandoz has no culture and can only sell his strength for reward.
Sandoz has worked outside and has changed countless jobs.
But he is willing to endure hardships and never complains about life.
I believe that good luck will come as long as you keep working hard. At the age of 40, Saunders opened a Corbin gas station in Kentucky because Saunders usually observes customers carefully.
He found that these guests on the highway had little time to eat, so Sandoz began to sell fried chicken at his gas station to make it easier for those on the road to fill their stomachs.
With years of cooking experience, Sandoz has been trying to match various spices.
Finally, the fried chicken with its own characteristics was developed.
Sandoz's fried chicken has been well received by customers, and people come to eat fried chicken in an endless stream. Some guests even come to the gas station to taste fried chicken instead of refueling.
Sandoz smelled business opportunities again in this situation. Why not open a restaurant to sell fried chicken? So there is a Sandoz restaurant opposite the gas station.
The main course of the restaurant is Sandoz's secret fried chicken.
In this way, Harland Sanders' name was completely launched.
Sandoz's fried chicken has become a representative food in Kentucky;
Therefore, Governor Ruby Lafon of Kentucky specially awarded the title of Kentucky Colonel to Harland Sanders, and Sanders felt lucky for the first time.
Life is never smooth sailing, and setbacks can help you sail.
On a calm sea, the image of waves hitting rocks is more vivid. Sandoz's restaurant business is booming, but this can no longer meet Sandoz's ambition. He built a hotel next to the restaurant to help people who came to refuel solve the accommodation problem.
Because Sandoz's education level is not high, and he lacks professional management knowledge, these have not hit Sandoz. He went to Cornell University in new york to study management, and finally achieved great success with the unremitting efforts of Sandoz.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. When World War II broke out, the government rebuilt the expressway, which directly affected the development of Sandoz's career. The gas station in Sandoz was closed because of the oil supply problem.
His restaurant was forced to close because of road reconstruction.
One by one, Sandoz went bankrupt and became a poor man, relying on government subsidies every month. But Sanders didn't give up on himself. He is still looking for opportunities to turn the corner.
No one knows whether to win or lose until the last moment.
When encountering setbacks, first find the reasons and then solve them. Sandoz still maintains a persistent belief in repeated blows. He took the last trump card in his hand as the last bet in his life, and that was Sandoz's secret fried chicken recipe.
Sanders thought that he once sold the recipe of fried chicken to a restaurant owner.
The boss made his restaurant lively with fried chicken formula. He thought that selling fried chicken formula would completely get rid of his present situation.
At this time, although Sanders was 65 years old, his age did not become a stumbling block to his success. Wearing a decent white suit and his trademark black-rimmed glasses, Sandoz began to walk into every restaurant to sell fried chicken recipes.
Sandoz keeps going back and forth between restaurants with a pressure cooker and a bucket of ingredients.
Finally, Sandoz was rejected by various restaurants 1009 times.
A miracle happened.
When Sandoz first 10 10 walked into a restaurant to promote the fried chicken formula, the restaurant owner accepted his fried chicken formula, and the god of luck began to come to Sandoz again. After a good start, Sandoz's fried chicken formula began to catch fire slowly, and people rushed to snap up the fried chicken formula.
1952, Salt Lake City opened the first KFC restaurant authorized by Sandoz. In just five years,
Sandoz has successively opened more than 400 KFC franchise stores.
Sandoz once again achieved great success in his career with his perseverance.
1964, 74-year-old Sandoz sold the right to operate KFC to an investment company, and his deteriorating health prevented him from concentrating on operating KFC. Sandoz was reluctant to part with KFC, but he decided to let young people inherit the business.
Although KFC's business is constantly being resold, this well-known iconic portrait of KFC has not been replaced.
Has been accompanied by the growth of KFC's career.
Harland Sanders dropped out of school at an early age and went to work. During his growing up, he suffered a lot. It is these hardships that constantly honed Sandoz's tough character and made him choose to go against the wind when he was repeatedly frustrated, and finally achieved great success.
People will always encounter setbacks, big and small, as a gift of fate, accept it with an open mind and face it calmly.
Try to make yourself strong,
In order to harvest a different kind of scenery in the later life.
